In the realm of great tech being woefully underutilized, I present for your approval Amazon's Albatross: Alexa! My Alexa is a fancy egg timer for when I'm cooking food. "Alexa 15 minutes". She tries fruitlessly and get me to use other features.. "Alexa. Sthaaaaap!" What do you waste Alexa's capabi...Read more
I am working on a side project and need help in writing code in Alexa skill. Usually I need help for like 5-10 hours a week. Does anyone know how to find Alexa skill developers in India or have any recommendations? The code is in Node js and require soke knowledge of Alexa skill features.
In terms of dollars wasted, yes. Lots of people talked about how no one would stand up to Jeff B with his crazy demands for certain Fire phone features. But it seems nothing was learned, based on Alexa. Little of significance has been done since 2016 or so, in terms of features that matter to custo...Read more
How does it feel knowing whenever you prompt users to enable some cool new features you built (that are genuinely good!) like follow up mode, or personalized lists, multi-user, etc, most users just say “shut up Alexa!” #alexa #amazon #bezos
Seems Arlo has better features like AI detection and video aspect ratio, integrates with Alexa as well. What you prefer and why? TC 350k$ #housing

Just posting here to remind folks to opt out of the features if you do not want to share your WiFi with your neighbors. This applies to owners all Amazon devices such as Alexa and Ring. #amazon
I see Alexa has gotten worse again. For some music channels it no longer lets you replay a song now, saying that you need to subscribe. "Repeating a song is only available with Amazon Music Unlimited" It's just a nonstop stream of marginally making the Echo have fewer and fewer features, until Ama...Read more
Alexa vs AWS? Planning for internal move. I am currently in AWS and I build server less services. Thinking should I try product engineering and build B2C features for Alexa or stick to infra and try something within AWS like containers? What is good in long term career growth? I want to explore a...Read more
This ship is too big and costly to operate, the crew keeps getting costlier and bigger while the food is going to be rationed heavily in the coming months. In my org (my L8 in retail has ~70+ under him mix of SDE, SDM, PM, TPM, etc.), we've seen bad prioritization which led to too many projects + ...Read more
Stayed in G for 3 more years and really tired of the small scope. Keep feeling I am wasting my life here only works for the tiny features and impacts. I got an Amazon offer recently, any amazon teams based in Bay Area that have larger scope and no heavy oncall duty? #tech #amazon #teammatch #bayare...Read more
been an Alexa customer for a long time.. I have about 10 devices sprinkled across the home. I cannot fathom why Alexa won't let you 1. announce/message to a specifc room or group. announcements have to blast everywhere and disturb everyone 2. when you get an announcement you can't simply reply back...Read more

I don't want to pigeon hole myself and I just want to know which companies/roles would get me the best mobility in the future.

I bought my mom a ring and an echo show for Christmas so she could see who’s at her door and talk to them. We also connected it to the portal she already has. This is my first foray into Alexa and I can honestly say it’s the worst software I’ve ever used. I’ll never buy another Alexa device again. ...Read more
Since there is many people working on Google here there is bound to be people working on Assistant or Home in here. I use a lot of google products (Pixel, Nest Cameras, Hub, Speakers, Chromecast, Mesh Wifi, Thermostat etc.) and the experience is always frustrating. Want to turn of your cameras wit...Read more
So I’ve been at amazon for 7 years and promoted a few times. Received TT and have been a PM for some of the top core Alexa devices/features. So I have been thinking about a change just to see what’s out there. I’ve applied to dozens of roles with Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Snap, and Hulu. Hulu ga...Read more
